Service Animal, Emotional Support Animal (ESA), and Therapy Animal Definitions.
Service Animal
A service animal is a dog that has been individually trained to perform tasks or do work specifically for a person with a disability. These tasks must be directly related to the person's disability.
Emotional Support Animal (ESA)
An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is a pet that provides comfort, companionship, and emotional support to someone with a mental health condition or emotional disability. Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks. Instead, their presence helps reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other emotional challenges.
Therapy Animal
A trained and friendly animal, often a dog, that provides comfort and affection to people in settings like hospitals, schools, nursing homes, or disaster areas. Therapy animals are not trained to assist individuals with specific disabilities but are there to bring joy and emotional support to many people at once.
